One of the exhibits, The “Hall of Fame”, designed by Gallagher & Associates, features a sculptural column of more than 350 Shure Model 55SH Series II Microphones. The “Hall of Fame” is the place where you can dig deeply into the history of GRAMMY nominations and awards. Dedicated computer databases contain information on 50 years of GRAMMY recordings and artists, while the most recent year's winners are honored in a contemporary display. The artifacts connect you to legendary recordings and artists that have been honored by the GRAMMY Hall of Fame and Special Merit Awards.

“The Shure 55SH Microphone has been a music industry icon for more than 60 years, as the GRAMMY has for over 50,” said Mark Brunner, Shure’s Senior Director of Global Public Relations. “We are honored that the GRAMMY Museum selected this classic microphone to evoke a profound connection to the history of music performance. The microphone sculpture, like this fabulous museum, is something that every music fan should see in person.”
